Rzeka grew up in a large city; moving to a small seaside town where she meets a peculiar pet from her childhood at the age of 13. In the process of sorting through old items in boxes throughout the attic, she came across an old friend - a shrew-foxlike sock puppet she'd dubbed Twig. Without an inkling of understanding of how he's suddenly gained some sort of sentience, she tries to go about her life normally with this slightly psychotic and socially and physically inept creature as he finds numerous ways of tormenting Rzeka and her younger sister, Yula.
Several years go by without incident until Twig returns once Rzeka turns 18 with the only objective of killing her.
(This story includes illustrations and nonsensical tangents and unnecessarily long Tolstoy-esk descriptions.)

Of Fairies and Noontime
Hadley Marble is a curious, unladylike, and stubborn 12-year-old girl who loves exploring-and breaking the rules.

She doesn't realize, however, that she is an unwelcome visitor, and there are many dark secrets hidden beneath the glittering surface of Ofan Village. *** Note: This is a story that I may come back to edit from time to time.

Desires of the Obsessed
Okay, so I'm really bad at descriptions so here's my attempt at a small summary: Basically the protagonist of this story is searching for her friends little sister who's gone missing. Her search brings her to an unsavoury location, and the awful weather isn't helping her out much either. As she journeys deeper she soon realises that her suspicions were correct - an old 'friend' has returned, and this time they don't plan on letting our protagonist get away... So how was that? Not a bad attempt in my opinion, although it could be better... Try it out! Hopefully you won't regret it, otherwise - take care!Complete

It's a curse. She can't leave this place. Her soul is embedded in this house. And she will die if she quits it for too long. "Don't rummage through the past. Don't you dare disobey the curse." Fine. Relleis will do the exact opposite. It's time to put an end to this punishment she doesn't deserve. Warning! Gore content in chapter 3. It is mentionned and you can skip it.Complete
